I like that the Republicans are going to try to block Obama (you know, the guy who is president for the next year) from nominating a new justice for 11 months (a full 3 months past the start of the next SC session). This debate is going to get really interesting if the moderators mentions that.

squidgee posted:Just when you think you've hit peak 2016 election cycle... Yeah, its a shock, but its pretty much the least traumatizing way for a relative to go IMO. (as long as you didn't curse them at the dinner table or kick them out of bed or something) Much rather lose a loved one at the age of 80 in their sleep after he had a day of hunting than in a freak car accident or perverse case of demnetia

I hope they quote passages from Scalia's dissenting opinion on Obamacare. Haven't heard "Interpretive jiggery-pokery" used in context in a long time.

Brannock posted:That's seriously huge news. If Obama can somehow manage to get an appointee onto the Court before his term is out then that changes the entire tenor of the Presidential election. It may change the tenor of the election even more if he can't get an appointment confirmed.

HOW DARE THEY POLITICIZE AND CRITICIZE SCALIA ON HIS DEATH. THE TASTELESSNESS. ... NO ONE SHOULD APPOINT HIS SUCCESSOR UNTIL I AM ELECTED

The best part is all the debate prep the candidates have been doing is now all thrown out the window and we get to see which of them will fall apart when they have to speak at length on an issue they haven't prepared rehearsed talking points for.

We've gotta make sure the will of the people nominates the next SCOTUS justice, and who better to do that than anybody other than the dude who blew our guy out in 2012 on the national stage?

So I guess whenever John Dickerson hosts a debate there's going to be a huge news story that derails it.
